foreign you spent 15 or 20 years building a career and you followed what the yitza wants you to do in this week's palasha it says they did not hear Moshe because of the shortness of breath and hard work with your hard work you forget about God he wants you to be so busy with the stock market with the uh the company you have the company you want to have the business you have the business you want to have the investment you have the investment you want to have he wants you to be so busy with your over there with your work you if you get praying you forget where the money is really coming from you forget to ask the question of what's the purpose of life you forget to ask the question of what am I doing here you forget to do chuva you're so busy you're so busy forget literally means hard work without even knowing whether you're going to have any reward for it this is purely hard and I was busy with my Abu dhakasha also many people relied on me all these stucco all these employees all these families anyone that need it I was busy you're not allowed to call yourself but the reality is when you go against Hashem you're not exactly at Sadiq you know it's a dick not to say about yourself but the reality is that everyone knows whether they're doing right or wrong everyone inside but inside you you know whether you're doing right or not inside you you know that whether that deal you did is honest or not inside you you know whether what you did with that customer or not is honest or not inside you know whether the way you honored your wife or Dishonored your wife was right or wrong inside you know whether you behaved right or wrong inside you know everything at the end of the parashah oh one of the most wicked men that ever existed says I have sinned Hashem is the righteous one the same Hashem he says listen Hashem is the righteous one I and my people are the wicked ones which means abutai that even oh even knew the truth at some point maybe he didn't know the beginning maybe he didn't ignore it irrelevant at some point Hashem brought him to a moment of truth and he says that's why next week's parashah continues with more and more punishments so when Hashem tells him I give reward I give punishment he's not only telling Moshe he's telling us in this mishnah teaches off of that says Noah do ten Generations from Adam until Noah the maidiri says who are these ten Generations first off those Adam Adam he lived 930 years then there was or Seth in English then there was enosh enosh in English in English now the uh you should know there is a book called The Book of Enoch or severeign and the Christians love talking about it but according to Judaism page 90 and then again in page 100 talks about it that anyone that reads this book and others like it loses their olamaba loses their Allah why Enoch was a real character as a matter of fact if you look at some of the things in this book They're pure genius he says you're not allowed to read it why not to read it because it wasn't approved by the hamim it wasn't approved by the hakami because at the time it was written it was after the time of wahakodesh after the time of Prophecy which means the whoever wrote it did not use prophecy meaning there's no certification that this is from Hashem even though it has things that are very very mystical it has things that are Beyond this world things that some people like and enjoy talking about their angels and so on and so forth the goaim infiltrated the book and started putting their studio in it also they put their nonsense into it they started putting their idol worship in it and the book is not reliable and this is called a a book that's like on the outside and this is one of the few books that's not allowed not permitted to even look into it not even permit to look at this which I know means that 10 people at least today are going to go look into it but you're wasting your time you're not going you're just putting yourself in danger yeah as their um I think I think if I understand what you're saying yes I understand what you're saying yes uh so this is one of the books that's not allowed uh simply because it has uh it's been tainted with once it's tainted you can't rely on anything that it says right wrong is indifferent intelligent not intelligent is irrelevant there are some books like Ben Sarah that you are allowed to read you are allowed to read Moses there are some leniencies with that specific book but it was still was not considered part of the Tanakh Ben Sarah was actually the son of Jeremiah pencila was the son of Jeremiah and uh very strange way of how he came mystical wave how he came to life there's a lot of wisdom in it very similar to The Book of Proverbs very similar but this is life wisdom that is not Torah wisdom it's life wisdom some people read it but they say you shouldn't read it anyway why shouldn't you read it because we're brought to this world to learn not just things of wisdom so the yave is if you guys remember I told you about his difficult life he was one of the dollar though he actually read it and he made commentary on it what did he say he said he used to read it in the bathroom so at least he gets some wisdom well even when he's in the bathroom suffering at least he can read something with some uh thing obviously Torah you're not allowed to learn in the bathroom unless it's for one of these rabbis which is not considered Torah foreign [Music]
